(back to top) You can create IPSec tunnels to the LAN-Cell using the IPSec features built into Windows XP and Vista. See our 31 page TechNote on how to configure the 28 parameters required in Windows. Or, you can use the VPN Configuration Wizards in the LAN-Cell 2 and the Proxicast VPN Client software to create an IPSec tunnel in 3 directed steps, entering just the PreShared Key, WAN IP address (or FQDN) of the LAN-Cell and the LAN IP subnet. We even have a TechNote to guide you. The Proxicast IPSec VPN Client software offers you many additional features and more flexibility. Feature Microsoft Windows Proxicast VPN Client Configuration Wizard* No Yes Dynamic IP (FQDN) Support No Yes Copy Configuration Parameters No Yes Tunnel Status Panel & Icon No Yes Debug Console & Log Limited Yes * Note that the “New Network Connection Wizard” in Windows can only configure Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) connections, not the more secure IPSec tunnels.
